Pierre Lombart (1612-1682), after Van D - Portrait d'Anna Sophia Comtesse de Carnarvon

17th-century engraving by Pierre Lombart (1612-1682), portrait of Anna Sophia, Countess of Carnarvon, after Anthony Van Dyck, well framed under glass; the piece has not been touched, sold as discovered. The frame measures 31.5 x 39.5, the engraving 23.5 x 31.5. This engraving is part of a series of 12 portraits after Van Dyck. Pierre Lombart engraved them around 1660; often called the "Countesses" from the Latin of their title. In his Abecedario, Mariette stated that this series would be enough by itself to place Lombart "among the first engravers."
